Noise in Working Memory Research and Working Memory Training: Theoretical Mechanisms and Methodological Challenges

Noise in Working Memory Research and Working Memory Training: Theoretical Mechanisms and Methodological Challenges

Jan 10, 2026

In contemporary cognitive neuroscience, the construct of “noise” in working memory research operates within two distinct but interrelated conceptual frameworks: first, as a theoretical mechanism explaining the fundamental computational constraints on...
Cognitive Impairment in Bipolar Disorder: A Persistent Trait Across Mood States

Cognitive Impairment in Bipolar Disorder: A Persistent Trait Across Mood States

Dec 24, 2025

Bipolar Disorder (BD) is a severe and chronic psychiatric condition characterised by recurrent episodes of mania, hypomania, and depression, interspersed with periods of relative stability known as euthymia. Historically, the focus of research and clinical management...

The Prefrontal Cortex and the Childhood “Executive”: Mapping the Neural Trajectory of Working Memory Development

The Prefrontal Cortex and the Childhood “Executive”: Mapping the Neural Trajectory of Working Memory Development

Dec 5, 2025

The cognitive abilities that enable a child to resist grabbing a forbidden sweet, to follow a teacher’s multi-step instruction, or to mentally rearrange the pieces of a puzzle are not mere products of simple learning. They are the outward manifestations of a profound...
Working Memory Models: From Baddeley’s Multicomponent Theory to Integrative Cognitive and Neural Frameworks

Working Memory Models: From Baddeley’s Multicomponent Theory to Integrative Cognitive and Neural Frameworks

Nov 30, 2025

Baddeley’s multicomponent framework remains a central reference point, but subsequent work has elaborated, challenged, and partially integrated it with attention-based, interference-based, individual-differences, and neurocognitive models of working memory (Adams et...
